3 UPDATES IN ONE WEEK! It's like CHRISTMAS! In a way? IDK UPDATES GALORE!

AznInvasionPersuasion - Idk but, I think James/Jo's ship name should be Taymond or Dialor? From their last names? Because Jomes, sounds weird to me. Jomes. This isn't the last time we're seeing Beau? That's an interesting inference there! ;) Jk, I feel I should consider that. To bring more drama? I'll think about that! (: Great idea though!

MysteryWriter12345 - Thank you! :)

Dia - IKR! Promposals! I'm thinking up great ideas! I might even take different POV's from the characters! Maybe, Logan, Jo, Lucy, etc..? It'll be fun! I know it! I wish I had a siblings in general. I'm an only child so I never really experienced that sibling relationship with anyone so.

I have a rant down at the bottom dealing with what's going on with Jo. You could read it if you want. BUt, anyways, here is the new chapter! Enjoy! (:

Jo's POV

I woke up early that Wednesday morning. I weighed myself on my scale. My weight last week was 129, currently it is 120. I smiled wide finally showing results that I was losing weight. I skipped eating dinner, and breakfast for the past week just to lose the pounds. But, I've been having this aching feeling on the left side of my waist. But, I ignored it. I quickly hurried to school. When I got to school I went to the Student Council meeting room, and waiting for everyone to get into the room. I was reading a Vogue magazine, and I see Kate Upton, wearing a white black tee-shirt. My eyes drift down to her waistline. It was curvature, and slim. her appearance was stunning, showing her beautiful peach skin, and flawless blue-grey eyes. I wish I was beautiful, and stunning like her. In the corner of my eye, I see James. He smiles, and takes a seat next to me.

"Good morning, Josephine!" He greets me,

"Hey," she grinned.

"I made sugar cookies earlier this morn. Their fresh out of the oven, and still warm.. So here's yours." He pulls out of his plastic container, I bit my lip constantly.

"Erm...Nah, I'm good. I'm not that hungry that much." I reject, and returned to reading. '

"Come on?" he begged beside me, "It's a cookie. Plus, you can't deny my offer because I made them from scratch, and if you don't eat them. Then...I'll just toss it away."

"James, let's get real. That's a waste just because I didn't eat it." I rolled her eyes. Then, he got up, and hovered the plastic holder over the trash bin.

"I'm willing to do it." He wears a strong face, I give him a 'Are you serious?' look. He nods, replying yes.
I rolled my eyes, and sighed. "Fine, hand it over." I offered my hand, and he smiles. He grabs the cookie, and hands it to me. I must admit, the cookie was still warm, and smell delicious but, I had to continue my diet. So I could fit into my ideal prom dress! I look at James, and he was already eating his. I wondered if he would notice if I tossed the cookie into my backpack. I slowly slid the cookied towards the edge of the table to toss it in.

"I can see you, trying to hide it." James added, not looking at me, just munching on his cookie. When he was finished, he dusted his hands off, so no crumbs were on his hands. "Tell me Jo, are you losing weight?"

Then I froze, has he been noticing me for the past week? Not eating breakfest, skipping out on eating snacks at lunch? But, he was a good friend. I couldn't lie to him, it wouldn't be loyal of me.

"...yes..." I muttered under my breath, he smacked his hands on the table.

"Geez, Jo." James cursed, "I don't understand why you have to be so insecure about yourself!"

"I'm not being insecure about my-" I denied but, James interrupted.

"Jo, don't lie to me. Are you losing weight because you feel insecure about yourself?" James gave me a somber look. I became hesitant for a second. Should I tell him because I want to look good for Kendall?

"Jesus, Jo. Come with me." he grabs my hand, and I dropped my cookie. "I won't lecture you in here." He guided us out of the door, and we stopped behind the building."Now tell me."

"Yes, since the Beau run-in. I've been feeling insecure about myself." I admitted, and looked down at my shoes. To avoid James's glaring.

"Jo, when I walked in you were reading a vogue magazine. What were you doing?" James points out my action earlier.

"Admiring how beautiful she is, and wish I was beautiful like her." I replied.

"I don't get it. Why can't you see that you're beautiful!" James blurted out, and my head looked up shocked at his sudden compliment. "People's opinions don't matter, none of that matters. I want you to know that, what you see in yourself is all that matters!"

"You don't need to lose weight, or anything. Stop being so hard on yourself. From the wise words of Bruno Mars himself, you're amazing just the way you are." James finalizes, and his signature smile appears on his handsome face. I return a reassuring smile on my face. Then, suddenly he inches closer. His hands tuck the hair behind my ear, and caress my cheek slightly.

"Beautiful." he smiles, and he leans his head forward. In shock, I part my lips. His parted lips collide with mine, and we share a sweet kiss. I closed my eyes, to feel the sensation of his soft lips. His lips were warm, soft, and tender. His other hand tucks behind my neck, and he pulls away from the kiss we shared. I opened my eyes, to see his face shocked also.

"W-what what that?" I stuttered in my words,

"Uh...a kiss." he answered awkwardly, "That you gave me."

"Oh contraire," I wore a smirk, "It was completely vice versa."

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." He mumbles, then the bell for class rang. "Oh look, the bell. I'll see you later then!" he waves, and dashed away before I could say a word. I pursed my lips, and wore a nice smile somewhat happy from what just happened.

Kendall's POV

After a week, I was discharged from the hospital and was able to return to school on Thursday. They wrapped gauze around my stomach so it wouldn't be exposed. I checked the calendar to see that I had 2 weeks until Prom, and 4 weeks until graduation. When I came home, I quickly plopped on our couch, and hugged the pillows.

"Oh, how I've missed you couch!" I chirped, smiling from one end to the other of my face. I grabbed the remote, and turned on the television. The local news popped up, showing Janey Phillips the anchorman of the show. Or should I said anchorwoman?

"We had received news that Beau Daniels, a local teen who wielded a knife at Palm Woods High, and stabbed Big Time Rush band member, Kendall Knight. Beau Daniels is held in trial for the situation, and is yet to be sentenced his punishment, " Janey reported, "Now to Jeffrey McKay with your weather!"

"God dammit, I hope he dies in hell." I cursed quietly,

Thursday

Thursday finally came, and I was excited to return to school then ever. Besides the fact I had lunch duty. I survived the day when I reached my 6th period. I walked in, and I smiled when I spotted Lucy. When Ms. Patterson stood in front of me.

"Welcome back Mr. Knight." she says, "We have a new seating chart so you're sitting up front. I looked and it was nowhere near Lucy. My smile sank down, and I waddled over to my new desk. I slumped in my chair, not getting to sit next to her. Class went on as usual, when Ms. Patterson brought up our musical number.

"Since, Mr. Knight had a incident on Wednesday. The Hairspray were able to perform therefore, they will perform today. Our group got up awkwardly, and stood in place. Lucy grabbed a chair, and sat in it. I started singing, and grabbed her hand. Our eyes were interlocked in each other, that our lyrics just sang out of our lips. Throughout the performance, I kept on stealing glances at Lucy, admiring her. Wishing I told her that I loved her.

When it was our ensemble sequence, we all twirled our partner, and sang swaying side by side.

No I don't wanna live
Without love
Darlin' you have best believed me,

I grabbed Lucy, twirled her around. My head rested on her left shoulder, like before.

Never, ever leave me
Without love

The class cheered, and clapped at our performance. I pulled her up, and then the school bell rang. Everyone gathered their things and began filing out of the door. I grabbed my things, and noticed that Lucy was still filling her things into her backpack. There I wondered, since she doesn't have a boyfriend, should I ask her out? I walked up to her, nervously scratching my head a lot.

"Hey, Lu." I smiled,

"Hey Kendall. Glad to see you're better." she notices my condition.

"Yeah, uh...remember the day we passed the notes in this class?" I reminded,

"Yeah, we would've gotten in trouble!" she exaggerated,

"Yeah but, the part where I said I was crazy for you..." I paused for a moment, "Was sort of true." Lucy stopped for a second, before putting her binder in her backpack.

"...so what are you trying to say?" she eases her way to my question.

"Well, I've liked you since you told me about your past at the beach. And I was wondering, if you want to go on a date this Saturday?"

"I don't know. I appreciate your feelings, and I also like you but, I'm scared of falling in love again. How do I know that you won't be like other guys?"

I wear a cheeky smile on my face, "Don't worry, if you fall, I'll be there to catch you." I reassured, "Would a normal guy, care about you so much to get himself almost killed? Just one date to show you I'm not like the others."

"Fine, Knight. You get one date, to change me mind."I agreed, and his face lights up.

"Alright, would you like to go out with me?" Kendall asks again. I thought about it, and decided to have a little fun.

"Girls don't like questions." I answered, and he gave me a confused look.

"Okay? Go on a date with me." he spoke,

"Ugh, too demanding." I rolled my eyes, almost chuckling a little.

"Go on a date with me?" he raises his eyebrows to emphasize the question, I chuckled a little bit more.

"Give me another question." I requested,

"Lucy, really?" he objected, and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm going to go out Saturday, if you'd like to come." he says, and I smiled and nodded in acceptance. Kendall jumps in the air in victory, and I just laughed. Looks like the weekend's going to be interesting.

I don't know if you guys listen to the news like a few months ago about Jodi Arias? How her sentence continues to be retrial and stuff? Idk I just thought I would put that in for Beau's character. Anyways, the Taymond/Dialor/Jomes moment there! James somewhat confessed his feelings to Jo?

Ugh, I hate people like that who judge you by your appearance, and shapeSo, don't let anyone bring you down, just because of your weight, or shape. You're all beautiful, inside, and out!

Anyways, also Kendall bringing up a date? I think that might be the next chapter? May or May not be? IDK. But also the moment "Girl's don't like questions." Is obviously from the movie, 'The Tourist' with Angelina Jolie (Who is amazing!), and Johnny Depp (: I like throwing out a few quotes in there from movies! :)

Questions!

What did you think of Beau not getting his sentence?

Will Beau be back?

How do you think the Kucy date will go?

The Jomes moment? Opinions let me know! :)

As usual, stay positive, and thank you! :) -Vivienne
